I was just looking through the Summer 2013 issue of Pheasants Forever's magazine and came across an article (page 90) discussing the National Wild Pheasant Conservation Plan that was conceived by the Midwest Pheasant Study Group of the Midwest Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies.
Has anyone heard of this group before? This is the first I've heard anything about it.
Also Budd Veverka (with Indiana div of fish and wildlife--who according to the article is playing a large role in coordinating this program) made a positive statement regarding the non-native issue surrounding the ring neck pheasant;
"ultimately we felt that this bird was not only economically important, it was also important from a hunting heritage standpoint. In the more than 100 years pheasants have been in this country, the bird truly has become a beloved "American" species." (page 91)
Anyway, I was hoping someone had some more information/updates on this plan.
Thanks. --Nick
